i’m old enough that i come home for christmas. weird. i’ve spent the last day pouring over my mumsie’s yearbook looking at 70’s fashion. i found out that what my mom wore as a senior in high school resembles my wardrobe all too closely. weird. i’ve watched Devil Wears Prada twice in the last week… Continue reading weird

there are five extra bodies (actually, six) sleeping here tonight. those from the yellow house down the street decided to stay here for a “sleepover” of sorts. it’s not the kind where you stay up all night giggling about cute sixteen-year-old boys and it’s definitely not the kind where everyone gets facials (although a certain… Continue reading

i’m not sure how it happened, but as we sat around the table, i suddenly found myself the only one talking (that’s not really the surprise) as the rest sat quietly and i told them of my daddy’s two brothers.Â i told of their likes — of arms being tickled and shoulders being rubbed and… Continue reading games

SteveÂ said we’ll have between 300-500 people here tomorrow night.Â ThomasÂ asked me to sing the soloÂ during the choir song, Mary Did You Know?Â i walked Valentina home and it was raining.Â Andy said that we should have snow sometime this week, but the rest of us disagree.Â Sara thinks i look and sound like Reba.Â Alison… Continue reading i just feel like talking
